Contours Travel, the Australian travel industry’s leading authority on Latin America, has launched a new series of free webinars to help travel agents learn more about the increasingly popular destinations of the continent.

The 2017 program will feature 15-minute webinars every second Friday (second Thursday in April due to Easter) at 11.30am from February 3beginning with a three-part series on Ecuador; followed by a session in March on the ‘destination of the year’, Cuba, and a six-part program on Mexico running until June.

For every five webinars agents join, they will go into a draw to win a place on a Contours Travel-hosted famil to South America in late 2017.

The first three fortnightly webinars will focus on the small but diverse country of Ecuador, including the wildlife-rich Galapagos Islands, the spectacular Tren Crucero rail ride through the Andes, the colonial, high-altitude capital of Quito and the pristine Amazon jungle.
